The standard enthalpy of formation for an element in its standard state is ZERO because elements in their standard form are not formed, they are naturally in that state. \Delta H^{o}\, _{f} for C  (s, graphite) is zero, but the \Delta H^{o}\, _{f} for C (s, diamond) is 2000 J/mol, because graphite is the standard state for carbon, whereas diamond is not.

Hence, option number (1) is correct
